President-elect Trump Seeks Dismissal of 34-Count Hush Money Conviction, Citing Hunter Biden's Pardon
Dec 3, 2024, 10:30 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's attorneys have formally asked a New York judge on Monday to set aside the verdict and dismiss his felony conviction in the hush money case involving payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The motion was filed with Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the case in which Trump was convicted in May of 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records. The lawyers cite President Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, as grounds for dismissal, arguing that continuing the case would present unconstitutional 'disruptions to the institution of the Presidency' and threatens the functioning of the federal government. Trump's legal team contends that the prosecution was politically motivated and that allowing the conviction to stand would upset the republic's balance of power.
